As server equipment becomes more widely utilised by mining companies, military bases and heavy industries, hardware and software need to be protected at all times more than ever. It is essential to take a holistic approach to protect these valuable assets from hostile online and physical environments.

In this series, we focus on the four solutions for harsh physical environments, the ARIES RANGE of IP55 Vented Server Cabinets (popular selling cabinet), ARIES RANGE of IP55 Wall Mount and Swing Server Cabinets, the TAURUS Range IP52 Rain and Dustproof 19-inch Server Cabinets and the POLAR RANGE of EV (Environmental) Server Cabinets.

Server cabinets used in harsh conditions such as heavy industries must conform to their stated Ingress Protection rating and other quality standards. The ARIES RANGE of IP55 Wall Mount and Swing Server Cabinets has an IP55 "Ingress Protection" rating. This waterproof and dustproof outdoor server cabinet can be mounted outdoors and protect your exposed equipment.

The ARIES swing frame cabinet has all the attributes of the single frame cabinet, but with the uniquely sealed open rear portion. The door is sealed with reinforced continuous air-cushioned rubber gaskets which are fitted onto a bent double lip gutter. Special tooling was developed to achieve the complicated all-in-one double bend-over waterproof design. Units are manufactured from powder coated steel and come in either ventilated or non-ventilated versions. Fans are mounted on the bottom gland plate and have washable filters.

Protecting sensitive electronic equipment such as computers, servers, monitors, switches, patch panels, from harsh conditions in a utility plant like a Power Station will overwhelm an ordinary server cabinet. The ARIES RANGE of IP55 is the ideal solution to protect your technology from these environmental influences effectively.

The ARIES RANGE of IP55 Vented Server Cabinets has easy front and rear access, security lock & concealed hinges. The doors have built-in washable air filters for easy maintenance.

The protection of your server equipment is crucial, especially when outdoors or in dusty environments. In many cases, it’s about protecting the physical hardware and even more so, protecting the data. The TAURUS Range IP52 Rain, Server Cabinet is designed to protect the equipment and keep the data under secure lock and key in the harshest of environments around South Africa and just about anywhere in the world.

The TAURUS Range of IP52 Rain and Dustproof 19-inch Server Cabinets are made from heavy gauge steel & sealed with continuous air-cushioned rubber gaskets to ensure the cabinet is dust & waterproof. The surface finish process involves degreasing, pickling and phosphating.

POLAR RANGE of EV (Environmental) Server Cabinets

Rapid changes in temperature and humidity, water leaks, power outages, human error and invasive intrusions are the most common environmental threats faced by businesses. Typical environmental monitoring tends to constitute personnel observing the physical environment and reporting problems. However, this can and does tend to lead to human error and oversights. Our POLAR RANGE of EV (Environmental) Server Cabinets will automate the Environment Monitoring System and effectively addresses such weaknesses. This is the most proactive way to reduce the unnecessary costs of expensive hardware replacement or unplanned downtime.

The POLAR RANGE of EV (Environmental) Server Cabinets has internal climate control and are made of heavy gauge steel and sealed with continuous air-cushioned rubber gaskets. The design ensures server equipment is protected from dust and water. For added security, the front and rear doors are secured with a 3-point locking system.
